Where were you during that huge, monumental day of change yesterday? I was at work, and luckily I got to see the Inaugural Speech that PRESIDENT OBAMA made at high noon- along with all of interested coworkers of the government who actually had to work (yes, us little contractors and civvies of Ft. Detrick). We made our way to the conference room to watch, and I thought about my friends, braving the cold weather and crowds to be a part of it all. A little of me was kicking myself in the ass for not being brave enough to ask for a ticket, because it DID mean that much to me that he is our new president. Well, that and because, there will be NO next time. There will never be another moment like this...

His speech made me tear. I turned to one of my coworkers, and she was full-on sobbing. I looked around the conference room, and people were just mesmerized. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be there. After the speech, we cheered with the rest of the country...and then it was back to work with a buzz in the air. Where were you?

And it made me believe in the term "soulmate"... I don't know how many of my friends told me about this movie, and I can't believe I hadn't seen it yet. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Watch it now. Thank you Jenny and Gerry for telling me about this one. Thank you...Especially you.

The Scientist lyrics

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorryYou don't know how lovely you areI had to find you, tell you I need yaAnd tell you I set you apartTell me your secrets, and ask me your questionsOh lets go back to the startRunning in circles, coming in tailsHeads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easyIt's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easyNo one ever said it would be this hardOh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figuresPulling your puzzles apartQuestions of science, science and progressDo not speak as loud as my heartAnd tell me you love me, come back and haunt meOh and I rush to the startRunning in circles, chasing tailsComing back as we are

Nobody said it was easyOh it's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easyNo one ever said it would be so hardI'm going back to the start
